Review

Kindness seems to be shrinking in our society, this books brings it back into focus. Readers watch as the main character tries to decide what is the kind thing to do when a classmates spills grape juice on herself. Readers watch this internal struggle as acts of kindness are considered and evaluated.

The storyline is vital in our current society where kindness seems to have taken a back seat. This book shows many ways that kindness can be spread from person to person. The illustrations are simplistic yet detailed and go beyond the text. Put this title on public and school library shelves for primary grade students, parents and teachers.

Overall Book Score: very good
